85 Amazing eBay Statistics and Facts (December 2018)

Here are some of the more interesting eBay statistics and facts I was able to dig up. As always, I will be adding to and updating these stats as I stumble across more.

With a great deal of the ecommerce buzz lately focused on Amazon, Alibaba and Google (to a lesser extent, but they are trying), it is pretty amazing how under-the-radar a company as big as eBay has gone recently.

It seems like the only time we hear about eBay these days is when something goes wrong like a security issue or an SEO fiasco. Well, while the others make the headlines, eBay is chugging along and selling a bunch of merchandise.

I decided to sit down and see just how big eBay is and what kind of activity they see. I was amazed at the numbers that came up. Clearly, they are still an ecommerce force to be reckoned with.
